New York Stage Managers Health Directory
August 2008 Edition
There is a long tradition among Broadway theatres of maintaining a select list of doctors who can be called when cast members, crew and staff need medical care. In 2005, The Actors Fund began working with the Broadway Stage Managers in the creation of a single reliable directory of primary care doctors, specialists and other health care providers that can be used by Broadway and Off-Broadway theatres and other live performance venues.
With funding from Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the different lists used by Stage Managers of every Broadway house were collected. Each health care provider was then contacted, invited to participate in the project, and asked to provide the information contained in this directory, including office location, hours, fees, participation in health insurance plans, availability for emergency situations and/or backstage visits, and willingness to offer performers and theatre personnel fast appointments and expedited follow-up.
